Would the Coronavirus have had different effects if it happened in 1990?

I'm mostly referring to the responses and action.

Yes, would not have spread as fast
@SW-User It would have happened - but more gradually.

I don't know that it would have had the opportunity to sprrad as far as fast, but...it would have been harder to contact people, no cell phones, no internet, and school/work would suffer.

@Elandra77 I'm 43. I was there.
@SW-User I'm 63. I was there in the 1950's(when the idea of "network" was forwarded to the defence dept by Eisenhower) and I played Space War on a PDP-8 in 1969.

Congrats on being 20 years younger-you missed out on a lot!

@Elandra77 my point is, I didn't need a link to know that the internet and cell phones were not widely available to individual households. Posting about existence of the "internet" was merely pedantic and not representative of what it was like in 1990.

@YukikoAmagi I know, but I have to work 🤷🏼‍♀️. I'll be fine, don't worry ❤. I have angels watching over me.

Yes, anytime before public internet access would have made it a less panicky experience.
it would kill way more people.
